This study uses the re-blocking policy adopted by the City of Cape Town to explore an alternative approach to the housing backlog crisis in South Africa. The two re-blocking projects examined in Mshini Wam and Kuku Town illustrate the benefits of re-blocking and the challenges that were overcome in both of these informal settlements. This study is descriptive in nature and explores the challenges that informal settlements present not only for their inhabitants, but also the impact these challenges have on the city itself. The re-blocking policy is explored as a potential approach to addressing these issues and how the in situ upgrading approach to informal settlements is an improved and sustainable approach for South Africa. Key findings suggest that the Re-blocking Policy can potentially address the challenges that informal settlements present and it could serve as a sustainable housing model for improving service delivery to informal settlements.

Development is an idea, an objective and an activity (Kothari and Minogue, 2002). Development emerged as an idea that nations had to adopt in their journey through post-war history. Development is seen as an ambiguous concept (Allen and Thomas, 1992: 23). In other words, it is defined in many ways to suit different purposes. Furthermore, over the long term development implies increased living standards, improved health and well being for all, and the achievement of whatever is regarded as a general good for society at large (Allen and Thomas, 1992: 23). Therefore, from the above development appears as a “one size fits all” concept, because it is an attempt to address the problems in society. Furthermore, development has been defined as a participatory, people-centred process intended to reduce the incidence of poverty and achieve better livelihoods for all (Kingsbury, McKay, and Hunt, 2004: 43). The definition of development as participatory and people-centred is the most applicable for the purposes of this study. Participation has been widely used in the development discourse. Within the development sphere, participation has been associated with the community sector (Gaventa and Valderrama, 1999:2). The definition of participation in development has been located in development projects and programmes (i.e. sustainable human settlements for our study purposes), as a means of strengthening their relevance, quality and sustainability (Gaventa and Valderrama, 1999:2). Strengthening of participation in local governance has to do with the strengthening of directcitizen involvement in decision-making by individuals or groups in public activities, oftenthrough newly established institutional channels, such as monitoring committees, planning processes, etc (Gaventa and Valderrama, 1999:8-9). Hence, participation could be seen as involvement in decision-making in all phases of a project (Gaventa and Valderrama, 1999:2). Citizen participation is about power and its exercise by different social actors in the spacescreated for the interaction between citizens and local authorities. However, the control of thestructure and processes for participation - defining spaces, actors, agendas, procedures - is usuallyin the hands governmental institutions and can become a barrier for effective involvement ofcitizens (Gaventa and Valderrama, 1999:7). The above discussion has been an attempt to show what participatory development or participation in a development process is all about. This has been done through briefly defining and discussing development and participation and also showing the relationship between the two concepts. Now the discussion will focus on enlightening the reader about sustainable human settlements – the main issue of this study. The decision to do research in this area came after the realization that there is still a shortage of houses in the Eastern Cape, and when the government does deliver these houses in a particular area people still have complaints regarding the new houses delivered to them. Then a question that came to mind was whether people are consulted or not before these houses are constructed during the planning stages so that they can give their own views or ideas on houses. Overall the reason for choosing this topic was to look at people’s participation on the development of houses. It is evident in the Provincial Medium Term Sustainable Human Settlement Research Agenda that community participation is lacking in the housing delivery process of the Eastern Cape (Province of the Eastern Cape Human Settlement,2011:9).

In an attempt to prove that cooperation between a public and a private agency will give a more efficient recreational programme for a specified area, the study, although strictly limited, investigates the area, and membership distribution at Alexandra House and Kitsilano Community Centre. After stating the function of a public and a private recreational agency, and describing three experimental programmes, the historical development and administration of the two agencies is outlined. Next, the study analyses the Junior teenage programme of Alexandra House, and the teenage programme at Kitsilano Community Centre on the basis of facilities, activities, leadership and programme development. The method used was to study the records of the respective agencies with particular reference to the teenage programmes mentioned. Programmes exhibiting cooperation in other cities were also studied with a view to their application to the local scene. Interviews and discussions with officials followed. The writer also drew upon his personal experiences as a social worker at Alexandra House. The study reveals facts which are important to the conclusions drawn and the recommendations made. Namely, that the area known as "Kitsilano" has not been defined, that transiency on the part of membership effects the programme, that Kitsilano High School is a common meeting ground for members of both agencies, that patterns of cooperation on the part of public and private agencies is possible, that Alexandra House, being an older agency than Kitsilano Community Centre, has worked through some of the problems facing the Centre, that administratively the two agencies are quite different. The analysis of the respective programmes points up that the two agencies are meeting the recreational needs of a large number of teenagers in different ways but that gaps in services do exist. The conclusions drawn are that the two agencies should cooperate in instigating research: to define the "Kitsilano" area, to ascertain the needs of the area in definite terms, to establish the division of labour between a public and a private agency, and to interpret a total programme of services to the public. It is further recommended that patterns of cooperation should be established along the lines of the Cleveland experiment, the Los Angeles Youth Board, and the New York City Youth Commission. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

The legacy of James Shaver Woodsworth, according to the traditional biographies, has been an indelible one on the Canadian historical landscape. His biographers have elevated Woodsworth to not only a hero of the Canadian political left, but of the whole nation. Studies of Woodsworth’s life have traditionally rested their case on All Peoples’ Mission in Winnipeg, calling it a watershed moment in the ideological development of J. S. Woodsworth. They characterize his time as Superintendent, from 1908-1913, as the defining moment which would later lead him to found the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation. This Master’s thesis seeks to analyze the historical periphery of this period in order to illustrate Woodsworth’s standard approach to the Social Gospel in Canada. By employing a micro-historical methodology, a greater context reveals that All Peoples’ Mission was not the dynamic, revolutionary institution that his biographers describe. Instead, Woodsworth spent his time in Winnipeg experimenting with different and sometimes conflicting philosophies. This stage of Woodsworth’s ideological development can instead be best characterized by his strong nativist beliefs. His writings and speeches during this period indicate a struggle between Woodsworth’s understanding of assimilation and integration. James Shaver Woodsworth was a far more complex character during this period than his biographers would have us believe.

This thesis assesses the potential of Venezuela’s technical water committees (mesas técnicas de agua, MTAs) to address governance and logistical challenges for improving sanitation in the barrios (low income settlements) of Caracas. The MTAs are a radical experiment in urban planning whereby beneficiary communities map their own water and sanitation needs and help to plan infrastructure development, which is financed by the state. In addition to improving services, the MTAs aim to promote “popular” or “citizen power” as part of a broader political transformation, the Bolivarian Process (1999-present). Based on Hickey and Mohan’s (2005) four criteria for “transformative participation,” the paper argues that the MTAs have opened spaces for citizen empowerment and improved services in the barrios; however, participation at the local scale cannot resolve many of the challenges for improving sanitation such as institutional overlap and the financing gap, especially given that sanitation is the least profitable form of service provision in terms of economic and political payoffs.

This research explores the tensions between non-formal land access, violence and urban land policy in the post-conflict city of Juba in Southern Sudan. It departs from the conventional notion of rights to land based on property rights to a broader concept of ‘access’ to investigate the means, processes and relations within society, or ‘mechanisms’, by which individuals attempt to gain and maintain access to non-formal settlement land, how this is controlled and the connections to violence. Moving beyond current dualist frameworks used to understand informality, this research aims to unpack the formal and non-formal institutions in the city whose interplay results in unequal opportunities for individuals to access urban land and how violence is both a mechanism and outcome of this. Using a mixed methods methodology, the research was carried out in Juba and three of its non-formal settlements that have emerged at different times during the city’s approximately ninety-year history. It used mainly in-depth interviews, group discussions, participant observation, structured settlement surveys and semi-structured key informant interviews. As the ‘new’ capital of a multi-ethnic region that has experienced decades of civil war, Juba provides fertile ground to explore these issues. Firstly, by tracing the evolution of the region’s political economy the research shows how, rather than being a new phenomenon, exploitation by government and violence have been integral features of urban land management in the region. Secondly, by considering Juba’s development it shows how violence underpins contemporary settlement patterns in the post-conflict period. Thirdly, by providing case studies of three non-formal settlements it details the evolvement from a sense of community to more segregated practices where land access is becoming highly ethnicised, reflecting broader tensions in the region. Finally, it shows how both ethnic tensions and unclear legislation are being instrumentalised by a web of powerful actors who, whether through coercion, deception or violence, are undermining urban planning in the post-conflict city for their own benefit, and hence the ability of non-formal inhabitants to access land. The research concludes that partly due to the formative nature of institutions controlling urban land access, violence has not ended in the post-conflict period but remains integral. Nevertheless, whilst approaches to non-formal settlements may be seen as a consequence of the persistence of dysfunctional institutions, it also relates to the post-conflict political economy that is emerging in Southern Sudan and the extent to which urban land access is facilitated by connections with the urban political or military elite. As a result, for hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons, returnees, combatants and ex-combatants the ‘peace dividend’ is compromised. In an urban environment hostile to their presence, they have no choice but to settle in non-formal settlements that, rather than being a solution to their shelter needs, leave them exposed to exploitation by a range of powerful actors.

Four of Vancouver's eight neighbourhood houses were studied to determine the extent to which they are social work agencies and to ascertain what types of social work each engages in. Related questions addressed include the roles of neighbourhood house voluntary boards of directors, the effects and implications of government funding of neighbourhood house programs, and the extent to which houses have departed from their historic roles. The four houses studied were consciously chosen so as to represent two which belong to the Neighbourhood Services Association and two which are independent, in that they belong directly to the United Way. An old and a new house of each type was selected so as to provide a further basis for valid comparisons Neighbourhood houses are clearly social work agencies. Programs of the casework and group work type are predominate. Two of the houses, in particular, also carry out extensive community organization work. Volunteer board members play significant roles. However, the nature of their roles varies according to length of tenure of the director, their past or current involvement in house programs, and their perceptions of the purpose of volunteer boards. Generally speaking, the longer the director's term and the more board members participate in house programs, the less significant is their role in making important policy, programming, staffing and budget decisions. Two of the four neighbourhood houses have departed from roles played by the early settlement houses. One reason for an increased emphasis on casework and group work programs at the expense of community organization is neighbourhood house reliance on government funding to provide direct services to target groups. The change in emphasis of house programming occurs, not through exercise of overt government control but, in part, because administration of publicly funded services takes time and energy away from community organization work. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

O foco da investigação recai no protagonismo dos grupos subalternos, tomando como referência elementos conceituais da teoria gramsciana. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida junto aos assentamentos rurais de Rosana, no Pontal do Paranapanema (SP), no período de 2002-2004, mediante abordagem predominantemente qualitativa e teve como eixos condutores da análise: a) a organização dos assentamentos e as práticas associativas; b) o exercício da representação e da participação dos assentados em âmbito local; c) as alianças fIrmadas com outros grupos e instituições; d) o projeto político dos assentados. Os procedimentos adotados incluem o levantamento bibliográfIco, entrevistas semi¬estruturadas com assentados, dirigentes, técnicos, formadores de opinião e políticos locais, complementadas pela observação e pela análise documental. Os resultados mostram que os assentamentos constituem espaço de socialização e favorecem a ação política dos assentados, que se tomam agentes de um protagonismo permeado por tensões e conflitos, orientados pela defesa de objetivos imediatos, nos limites da hegemonia dominante. Nas lutas empreendidas, ressalta-se o conteúdo questionador das relações de dominação e seus rebatimentos no processo de democratização das relações sociais no campo / Abstract: The present study analyses the political action of subordinate groups in the countryside. The objective is to apprehend the dynamics of the relations established in the rural settlements, as well as, the limits and the contradictions in such relations. Besides, this study intends to unveil the social trend and the politics oftheir actions. Such investigation focus on the protagonism of subordinate groups, having as reference the concepiual elements of Gramscian theory. The research was developed in the rural settlements of Rosana, in the Pontal de Paranapanema (S P), :lTom 2002 to 2004, using a predominantly qualitative approach. The central topics that were considered in this analysis are the following: a) the people organization in the settlements and the associative practices; b} the representation use and the participation of settled people in the local ambit; c) the alliances they make with other groups and institutions, d) the political project of the settled people. The adopted procedures inc1ude: bibliographical research, semi-structured interviews with settled people, leaders, technicians, local politicians and formers of opinion; along with observation and document analysis. The results show that the settlements constitute a socializing place, and favor the political action of settled people, who beco me agents of a protagonism that undergoe~ pressures and conflicts. Besides, they are oriented by the accomplishment of immediate objectives within the limits of the dominant hegemony. In the struggles undertaken, the dominance relations are called into question, and the their objections into the democratization process of social relations in the countryside, are also emphasized. / Doutorado / Doutor em Ciências Sociais

No entanto, as condições de vida dos moradores dessa forma de organização social ainda são pouco estudadas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi de avaliar as condições socioeconômicas e demográficas, o estado nutricional e o consumo de alimentos de adultos e idosos, moradores em assentamento rural do Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). A pesquisa foi realizada no Assentamento Itamarati, localizado em Ponta Porã, MS. Participaram da amostra indivíduos com idade entre 20 e 69 anos, pertencentes a famílias dos quatro movimentos sociais que compõem o assentamento. O sorteio das unidades domiciliares foi realizado por amostragem aleatória estratificada simples, sendo os dados coletados por meio de entrevistas. Integraram a pesquisa 117 unidades domiciliares, envolvendo 217 pessoas (105 do gênero feminino e 112 do masculino). Os dados de consumo foram obtidos por meio do método Recordatório de 24 horas. Utilizou-se o software Nutwin para o cálculo do conteúdo de energia e nutrientes e os valores foram comparados com as DRI¿s ou RDA¿s vigentes para indivíduos adultos saudáveis, segundo estágio de vida e gênero. Para o cálculo do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), foram adotados os níveis críticos preconizados pela Organização Mundial da Saúde. Verificou-se que a maioria dos entrevistados era casada e apresentaram média de 43 anos de idade e 5,2 anos de estudos. Entre as assentadas observou-se a média de 2,7 filhos por mulher. O rendimento médio mensal das famílias alcançou R$ 354,70. A participação do autoconsumo no rendimento familiar totalizou uma média diária per capita de R$ 1,27 e os alimentos que participaram de forma mais expressiva foram: carnes (bovina, frango e suína), feijão, leite e derivados, mandioca e abóbora. As residências possuíam, em média, 4,2 cômodos e não dispunham de energia elétrica. A água de 95% dos domicílios provinha de poços ¿tipo caipira¿ e 68% da água para consumo humano não recebia nenhum tipo de tratamento. Os valores médios de IMC para as mulheres foram maiores que dos homens. A sobrepeso nas mulheres concentrou-se no estrato de idade acima de 30 anos e de obesidade acima de 40. No grupamento masculino, o sobrepeso e obesidade foram maiores nos estratos de idade de 40 a 49 anos. A proporção média de energia ingerida, proveniente de proteínas, carboidratos e lipídios foi, respectivamente, de 15,5, 54,4 e 30,1% para as mulheres e de 15,5, 54,9 e 29,6% para os homens. Houve adequação de 78,8% das dietas. Observou-se consumo reduzido de vitaminas, principalmente, da A, E, C e folato. O consumo de cálcio para ambos os gêneros, e de ferro para as mulheres em idade fértil, mostraram-se inferiores aos preconizados. A ingestão média de sódio ultrapassou em torno de quatro vezes o valor preconizado. Para os demais minerais também se verificou inadequação, porém em proporções menores. As médias do consumo de colesterol foram muito acima das recomendações e o de fibras ficou abaixo do preconizado, para ambos gêneros. Os cereais forneceram a maior contribuição de energia e também de carboidratos. As carnes e os embutidos foram identificados como as principais fontes de proteína e lipídios. A participação da banha de porco e do toucinho na dieta dos assentados foi superior às médias nacionais. A contribuição das frutas e verduras no consumo alimentar, foi pouco expressiva, sendo as raízes e tubérculos identificados como principais fontes de vitamina C. O grupo do leite e derivados representou a principal fonte de cálcio dos assentados. Cerca de 50% do ferro consumido, por ambos os gêneros, foi proveniente dos cereais. Devido à dieta e estilo de vida adotados, infere-se que os indivíduos da amostra podem estar sujeitos a carências nutricionais e ao desenvolvimento de osteoporose, hipertensão arterial e demais doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. Portanto, ressalta-se a importância de estimular os assentados a diminuir o consumo de alimentos de origem animal e incrementar a produção e ingestão de frutas, leguminosas, cereais e hortaliças. Estes resultados apontam a necessidade de implementação, entre outras estratégias, de um programa de educação nutricional no Assentamento Itamarati. Além disso, considerando que a curto prazo, provavelmente, haverá aumento expressivo da população do Assentamento, chama-se a atenção sobre a importância de se rever as intervenções sanitárias, ambientais, entre outras, e de incrementar a produção para autoconsumo visando, prioritariamente, uma dieta mais variada e a segurança alimentar e nutricional das famílias / Abstract: Rural settlements were established in Brazil in order to promote a new model of agricultural development. The life condition of residents of that social organization form is still little known. The objective of this work was to evaluate the social-economic and demographic conditions, nutritional state and the food consumption of adults and older people that live in rural settlement of South Mato Grosso (MS). This research was carried out at the Itamarati Settlement, which is located in Ponta Porã, MS. Individuals that participated of the sample were between 20 and 69 years old, belonging to families of four social movements that compound the settlement. Draft of home unit was done by simple randomized stratified sampling, which data were collected by interviews. A sample was 117 home units form the research which involved 217 persons (105 of feminine gender and 112 of masculine). Consumption data were obtained by the 24-hour Dietary Recall method. The Nutwin software was used to calculate energy, nutrients and the values were compared with DRIs or RDAs established for healthy adults, according life stage and gender. For calculating Body Mass Index (BMI), critical levels established by World Health Organization were adopted. It was verified that the most interviewed people were married with a mean age of 43 years and had 5.2 years of schooling. Among settled women, the average number of children per woman was 2.7. Average monthly income of families reached R$ 354.70. Participation of auto-consumption in the family income resulted in a per capita daily average of R$ 1.27 and foods that are present in an expressive way were: meat (beef, chicken and pork), beans, milk and their products, manioc and squash. Residences had, on the average, 4.2 rooms lacking electricity. Water in 95% of the residences was of the ¿caipira¿ type wells and 68% of water for human consumption did not receive any treatment. Average values of BMI for women were higher than for men. Pre-obesity in women concentrated in age stratum above 30 years old and obesity above 40 years. In the male group, pre-obesity and obesity were higher in age stratum from 40 to 49 of age. Average proportions of ingested energy from proteins, carbohydrates and lipids were, respectively, 15.5, 54.4 and 30.1% for women and 15.5, 54.9 and 29.6% for men. There was adequacy in 78.8% of the diets. Reduced consumption of vitamins, mainly A, E and C and folate, was observed. Calcium consumption for both genders and of iron for women in fertile age, were inferior to established requirements. Average sodium ingestion was around four times higher than are the recommended amounts. For other minerals, it was verified to be a low intake, but in a smaller proportion. Average cholesterol consumption was very higher than the recommendation, whereas that fiber was smaller than recommended for both genders. Cereals were the principal sources of both energy and carbohydrates. Meats and sausages were identified as the main sources of protein and lipids. The participation of pork fat and bacon fat in the diet of settlers was superior to the national averages. The contribution of fruits and vegetables to the food intake was little and roots and tubers were identified as main sources of vitamin C. Milk and its products showed to be the main source of calcium of the settlers. About 50% of the consumed iron, for both genders, was from cereals. Due to the adopted diet and it was concluded life style that sampled individuals were prone to nutritional imbalance and the developing osteoporosis, hypertension and all chronic non transmissible diseases. Therefore, on could distinguish the importance of stimulating settlers to decrease the consumption of foods of animal origin, salt and increasing the production and consumption of fruits, leguminous, cereals and vegetables. Those results showed the need of establishing, among other strategies, a program of nutritional education in Itamarati Settlement. Besides, considering that in a short period of time, probably, there will be an expressive increase in population at the settlement, attention is called to the importance of reevaluating sanitary, environmental, interventions and increase the production for self-consumption with the aim of, providing, a more varied diet capable of bringing food and nutritional security to these families / Doutorado / Consumo e Qualidade de Alimentos / Doutor em Alimentos e Nutrição

The current behavior of communities with the nature, practices and eating habits that come from the most diverse cultures and ways of life is at center of changes in contemporary world. When notices the tendency of the food, notices how important it is to understand its relation with change of characteristics of solid residues and impacts in the environment. The rural environment isn’t a place of exclusively agricultural activities. This research sought to analyze the food cultural erosion process in the family farmers of Chico Castro Alves Settlement and Nova Vida Settlement, in municipality of Martinópolis, SP, from two realities: solid waste generation and associated nutritional aspects to these changes. Used hypothetical-deductive method, being of exploratory-descriptive character, with a qualitative approach, using participant direct observation. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed using the content analysis methodology. Rural urbanization, parents' difficulty in keeping their children in the field and little health care were evidenced. it was concluded that there were changes in eating habits, agricultural production and in generation solid waste, characterizing food cultural erosion. There was evidence the need for actions to properly dispose of waste in the municipality, minimize the effects negative on environment and improve health of farmers and families. / Os hábitos alimentares de uma população ou classe social, através de suas práticas alimentares e escolhas, formam suas identidades sociais. O comportamento atual das comunidades com a natureza, as práticas e os hábitos alimentares que provêm das mais diversas culturas e modos de vida está no foco das mudanças do mundo contemporâneo. Ao se perceber os rumos e a tendência da alimentação, nota-se o quão importante é compreender sua relação com a mudança das características dos resíduos sólidos e seus impactos no meio onde vivem. O meio rural não é mais um local de atividades exclusivamente agrícolas. Neste sentido, esta pesquisa buscou analisar o processo de erosão cultural alimentar nos agricultores familiares do Assentamento Chico Castro Alves e do Assentamento Nova Vida, no município de Martinópolis, SP, a partir de duas realidades: a geração de resíduos sólidos e os aspectos nutricionais associados à essas mudanças, usando o método hipotético-dedutivo, sendo de caráter exploratório-descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa, utilizando a observação direta participante. Os dados foram obtidos através de entrevistas estruturadas e analisados utilizando a metodologia de análise de conteúdo. Evidenciou- se a urbanização do rural, a dificuldade dos pais em manter os filhos no campo e a pouca atenção à saúde. Conclui-se que houve mudança nos hábitos alimentares dos agricultores, na produção agropecuária e na geração de resíduos sólidos dessa população, caracterizando a erosão cultural alimentar. Evidenciou-se a necessidade de ações pontuais para a destinação adequada de resíduos no município, minimizando assim os efeitos negativos ao meio ambiente e proporcionar melhora da saúde dos agricultores e seus familiares.
